Your LLM can't actually watch video. Here's the smallest fix (MIT)

Every model card says "multimodal". Then you hand the model a real video file and discover what that means in practice: ChatGPT reads the subtitle track, Claude doesn't accept video files at all. The model narrates a video it mostly never saw. I unpack viral videos daily for my own content work, so I couldn't route around this. I built a small tool instead. The mechanism claude-real-video converts a video into three things an LLM can genuinely read: Scene-aware sample...

Google custom search api free limit: How to bypass the cap

Running out of API quota in the middle of a production deployment is a frustrating rite of passage. If you are using the Google Custom Search API, you have likely hit that 100 free daily queries wall. Once you do, your application throws a 403 Quota Exceeded error, stalling your features unless you link a billing card and risk uncapped charges of $5 per 1,000 queries. In my experience, relying on Google's default limits without safeguards is a major liability. Here is how I protect my cloud...

A Practical Workflow for Contributing to a Large, Structured Codebase

This is the workflow I follow before I use AI agents to implement any feature or bug fix. 🧭 Requirements/Specification ↓ Design/Architecture ↓ AI Code Generation ↓ Human Review ↓ Build & Static Analysis ↓ Testing & Validation ↓ Defect Resolution ↓ Security & Compliance Review ↓ Release ↓ Production Monitoring vs Claude Code ↓ Implements feature ↓ Cod...

Clinejection: How a GitHub Issue Title Compromised an AI Coding Assistant Used by 5M Developers

TL;DR In December 2025, Cline β€” an AI coding assistant with over 5 million users β€” gave an AI agent (Claude) write access to triage GitHub issues, including permission to run shell commands. A misconfigured trigger condition let any GitHub user invoke the workflow. What followed was a four-hop supply chain compromise that ended with a malicious npm package silently installing a second AI agent on user machines. I broke down the full chain in video form: Watch the episode Below is t...

Building GateKeeper: Designing a Role-Based Access Control Library in Pure Go

As developers, we use authorization libraries almost every day. Whether it's a web application, an API, or an internal tool, we often rely on packages that decide who can do what. But I realized I had never actually built one. So instead of using an existing library, I decided to build my own Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) library in Go using only the standard library. This project eventually became GateKeeper v1.0.0. Why I Built One As a beginner in backend develop...

I Got Tired of Hand-Translating Xcode Plists, So I Built a Tiny Free Tool to Do It On-Device

If you've ever localized an iOS or macOS app, you know the drill: you've got a .plist file full of UI strings sitting in Base.lproj , and now you need the same file in fr.lproj , th.lproj , de.lproj ... and so on for every language you support. You can pay for a translation service, hand it to a freelancer, or sit there manually retyping strings into fifteen copies of the same file. I didn't want to do any of those things, so I spent a day building pListTranslatorApp β€” a small SwiftUI...

Lobsters Interview with matheusmoreira about Lone Lisp

@matheusmoreira ( blog ) built lone lisp directly on Linux system calls. In this interview, he shares his knowledge of C and the Linux Kernel. How did you get into computing originally? What was your path before discovering Lisp etc.? I've always liked computers, but what truly got me into programming was video games. When I was a kid, I used to play games from a series called Mega Man Battle Network, and I ended up getting inspired by those games. They're ultimately responsible for ...
